Examples: Session Switching
The following examples illustrate session switching inside a select loop and the resetting of status fields. The main program processes sales orders and calls the subroutine new_customer for every new customer. This example illustrates the use of numeric session identifiers.
The following is an example of the main program:
exec sql include sqlca;
exec sql begin declare section;
/* Include output of dclgen for declaration of
** record order_rec */
exec sql include 'decls';
exec sql end declare section;
exec sql connect customers session 1;
exec sql connect sales session 2;
...
exec sql select * into :order_rec from orders;
exec sql begin;
if (order_rec.new_customer = 1) then
call new_customer(order_rec);
endif
process order;
exec sql end;
...
exec sql disconnect;
exec sql set_sql(session = 1);
exec sql disconnect;
The following is an example of subroutine new_customer from the select loop, containing the session switch:
subroutine new_customer(record order_rec)
begin;
exec sql set_sql(session = 1);
exec sql insert into accounts values
(:order_rec);
process any errors;
exec sql set_sql(session = 2);
sqlca.sqlcode = 0;
sqlca.sqlwarn.sqlwarn0 = ' ';
end subroutine;
